Is Gingrich still in this?

No. Its never been anyone but Romney. They both lie, but Romney is certainly less of a genuine d*ck. At this point, I think Obama's got it locked though, neither are very appealing and Obama is a pretty good campaigner.

But the one he lost to was a moderate, and a big part of why McCain lost was Sarah Palin...

I think I misinterpreted your original statement. I thought by "screaming Romneycare" you meant that Obama would be criticizing it, in the way that the Republican primary candidates have been. But yes, I do agree that he will be linking Romneycare to his healthcare bill.

I think Sarah Palin's impact on the 2008 election was extremely overstated. And also, Obama being a moderate doesn't have anything to do with waht I'm saying. If McCain had been more hardcore in his Republican stance, I'm of the opinion that he would've emerged victorious in the end. Although I do think the media had a lot to do with why Obama won.

w/e agree to disagree. I personally believe that if McCain hadn't chosen Palin and had run a more centrist campaign, he at least would not have lost by so much.

And I hope you're not one of those people who goes on about the "liberal media."

Not as much as the ones who use it in every political debate they take part in, but I do believe the American Media is skewed towards the left at least a little bit. And anyone who says otherwise is either blind or in denial in my opinion. But is the entire media a front for the DNC like some people would like to think? Absolutely not.

There's some serious revisionist history.

You may wish to review the poll numbers from that time period and note the collapse of McCain's lead in the polls. Then, cross-reference that time to see what other MAJOR event happened at the same time...
